Capelo and Santos Lead Anchormen Past Keene State for First Home Win

Providence, R.I.--Freshman forward Logan Santos (North Providence, R.I.) registered his first collegiate goal as Rhode Island College came from behind to defeat Keene State, 2-1, in a Little East battle played at Alumni Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
 
THE BASICS
Rhode Island College 2, Keene State 1
Rhode Island College (5-4-3, 3-1-1 LEC)
Keene State (2-6-3, 1-3-2 LEC)
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
• The Anchormen dominated the first 45 minutes as they outshot the visitors, 11-3, but could not create separation as the game remained scoreless at the break.
 
• It was the Owls who netted the first goal of the game, which came in the 52nd minute to stun a heavily possessive RIC side.
 
• The hosts then started to then pepper the KSC defense with shots, including one from Santos to level the game at one apiece in the 72nd minute off a nifty pass by  junior midfielder Nathan Capelo (Rumford, R.I.) and classmate defender Kyle Neuendorf (Attleboro, Mass.).
 
• Seven minutes later, after the Anchormen recorded two more shots near net from Santos, the hosts would score again with a Capelo goal and an assist from sophomore forward Kody Poplaski (Bradford, R.I.).
 
• Senior goalkeeper Elhadji Ndoye (Cranston, R.I.) made four stops in between the woodwork for the win (5-3-1).
